It will come as no comfort to a child shivering (打哆嗦) on a playing field on a cold winter’s day. But regular organized school sport helps children in their academic studies in years to come. The researchers said other “structured” activities such as music or religious activities were not as beneficial for attention as taking part in a games lesson. The difference in academic ability was noticeable even at age ten, with those who had taken in sports since the start of junior school performing better than those who hadn’t.
The Canadian study looked at children aged six and then ten. Professor Linda Pagani said:“We worked with information provided by parents and teachers to compare kindergarteners’ activities with their classroom activities as they grew up. By the time they reached the fourth grade, kids who played structured sports were clearly better at following instructions and remaining focused in the classroom. There is something special to the sporting environment — perhaps the sense of belonging to a team to a special group with a common goal — that appears to help kids understand the importance of respecting the rules and honoring responsibilities.”
Researchers began studying 2,694 Canadian children around the age of six, with teachers filled in questionnaires about their behavior in school. Meanwhile, the children’s parents were interviewed by phone or in person about their home life. The exercise was the repeated four years later to test what effect the behavior had.
Professor Pagani said: “We found children who had better behavior in the kindergarten class were more likely to be involved in sport by age ten. Nevertheless, we found those children who were specifically involved in team sports at kindergarten scored higher by the time they reached the fourth grade.” The researchers believe sporting activities and attention skills go hand in hand. Professor Pagani added: “The results should be encouraging for schools looking to cut childhood obesity rates and low attainment in schools.”
51. What kinds of children may do better in their academic study according to paragraph one
A. Those who join in structured activities.
B. Those who don’t shiver on a cold winter’s day.
C. Those who don’t like school sports.
D. Those who take part in game lessons.
52. What did the researcher focus on in their research
A. The classroom activities. B. The results of the exams.
C. The performance at kindergarten. D. The time spent in classrooms.
53. In the sporting environment, kids are more likely to ______.
A. understand each other better B. follow the rules
C. respect the teachers D. give up
54. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us
A. How scientists carried out the research.
B. Why parents were interviewed by phone.
C. How kids behaved at home or at school.
D. How many sports kids did at school.
55. What can we infer from Prof. Pagani’s words in the last paragraph
A The research will be of great benefit.
B. It’s necessary for children go to kindergartens.
C. Childhood obesity rates can lead to low attainment.
D. Team sports will be reduced at kindergartens.
C
My greatest regret in life is that I failed to tell my superb teachers how much they contributed to my early education.
Ruth Hammerman taught English to the eighth-graders. She was the first to show me the rules of what Evelyn Waugh called our “rich and delicate language.” She was a no-nonsense instructor. Unlike common teachers, she diagramed (用图表展示) sentences so we could know the grammar rules. She never seemed to be tired of the simple pleasures of sharing her learning.
Under her influence, I had the strong belief that language needs to be well-spoken and properly written. Yet over the years I never made the effort to find her and to express my thankfulness for what she did for me. Two years after being in her class, I began the study of Latin and French, and the foundation (基础) she provided in English grammar served me well. Sadly, I never looked back.
In high school I took advanced French in a class taught by Richard Miller, the finest teacher I have ever experienced at any level. Mr. Miller brought to his subject a surprisingly deep understanding and new analysis (分析). Reading “Phèdre”, Racine’s classic play, he asked us to note there were 1,654 lines in it, and then pointed out the care Racine devoted to structure. Years later I made the same point — giving Mr. Miller credit — in a college French class, and my professor was surprised by my understanding of the play. Mr. Miller taught us to enjoy literature with particular points of view. Yet I never made the effort in later years to tell him what he meant to me.
Mr. Miller is certainly long dead. If she is alive, Miss Hammerman would likely be in her 90s. In preparing this article, I tried to find her but was unsuccessful.
I am certain my act is common. People often forget to express love and thankfulness to their teachers. I ought to have told Miss Hammerman and Mr. Miller how much they did for me. I suppose they knew their work was effective because they believed in what they were doing. Now I appreciate how special they were.
56. What is the most beneficial part to the author in Miss Hammerman’s class
A. Grammar. B. Writing. C. Speaking. D. Reading.
57. What is special about Mr. Miller’s French class
A. He asked students to count lines.
B. He stressed the importance of play.
C. He analyzed literature in a new way.
D. He showed great devotion to students.
58. What does the underlined phrase “my act” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Preparing the article. B. Looking for the teachers.
C. Failing to thank teachers. D. Copying teachers’ points.
59. What best describes the two teachers according to the text
A. Creative. B. Frank. C. Humorous. D. Strict.
60. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text
A. To show love for French literature.
B. To explore the meaning of education.
C. To explain why teachers are important.
D. To share memories of the two teachers.

阅读文章回答问题。
A couple of weeks ago, my grandfather explained his favorite expression, “Nothing is ever easy.” Then the following day, as I tried to complete my day’s work, I happened to notice a bumblebee(大黄蜂) on the skylight(天窗). The skylight was particularly high up, but I thought removing the bee would take no more than five minutes. An hour later, the bee still remained. All that had changed was that the living room was a mess and that I was dizzy from looking up into the sunlight. I did not expect to waste an hour on an insect so tiny, but by doing so, I understood what my grandfather meant.
It is not only time that we tend to underestimate — we don’t account for unexpected costs. We often imagine what can work in our favor, but we seldom think of all the negative things that could affect us. However, it is important to remember that your day or week or year might not go as planned, and that is completely normal. It is perfectly acceptable to feel challenged — even at a task you thought was simple — because that is part of life.
If you can accept that nothing will ever be easy, then life might seem slightly more manageable. In middle school, I thought high school might be easier because I could choose the classes I wanted to take. In high school, I thought college might be easier because I could have a schedule best suited for myself. Yet each time, I was both wrong and disappointed. After accepting that school wouldn’t (and shouldn’t) be easy, I found myself with a more positive attitude and improved results.
Of course, there should be preparations made to account for expenses or time. Doing so can only help you accomplish your goals in a better way. However, there is no need to beat ourselves up(过分自责) when something stands in our path. Maybe we cannot see a bee coming our way, but we can always give ourselves the extra time to catch it.
61. What was out of the author’s expectation when he removed the bumblebee on the skylight (no more than 15 words)
62. What does the underlined phrase “account for” in Paragraph 2 mean (no more than 3 words)
63. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us (no more than 15 words)
64. According to the passage, how will you deal with what stands on your path (no more than 15 words)
65. What do you understand the sentence—“Nothing is ever easy.” (no more than 25 words)
